Noise reduction

This function reduces the noise that is generated during long exposures.

When shooting night scenes, shutter speeds are slower and noise tends to

appear in images. When [NOISE REDUCTION] is set to [ON], the camera

automatically reduces noise to produce clearer images. However, shooting

time is approximately twice as long as usual.
